SUBJECT: Final Report Proposal on LimeWire

The focus group results show that a large number of Gen Y obtain their music from LimeWire. With the outstanding number of people who download music illegally it would be nearly impossible to fix this problem. I propose to write a report on the future negative effects of illegal downloading.

Need:
  • Artists are not completely compensated for their work.
  • More concrete laws set to enforce legal downloading of music.
  • Business advertising on sites such as LimeWire.
  • Termination of internet connection to those who dowload illegally.

Topics:
    • Implemented plan on how to stop illegal downloaders
    • The future of illegal downloading
    • What artists are really being compensated for
    • Advantages strict music pirating laws.
